    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Online shopping is playing a pivotal role in the modern days. The website I would like to explain today will be Amazon. Online shopping has evolved over the time. For day to day shopping from groceries to books has been carried to the online platforms. The website I generally use is Amazon. Additionally, there are better offers on special occasions like Christmas, Black Friday. We can get the product at a better price. That's what makes me really happy. Moreover, the discounts provided in Amazon is also very reliable. Additionally, the user-friendly icons and the design makes it easy to use. A person who first visits the website, it will be very easy to navigate to the website. There are no difficulties while going to other pages. It will be easy to follow up for a beginner. That's my opinion about Amazon. Everybody can easily learn what Amazon is really about. What I really get from shopping from this website is that I can save a huge amount of money on a daily basis on my shopping groceries.
